I've read some good reviews on the Hawkeye LRT, but I'd like to hear from guys that are shooting them regularly. So, those of you who have them, how do you like it? Do they group well out of the box?

Thanks guys
 
The high impact is cold bore, the other 4 are below. At 300 yards with my ruger Hawkeye

How many times in a row can it do that? Has it done that more than once?
I’ve shot a 300 yard group once. At 100, I’ve shot 5, 5 shot groups in a day and everyone of them is under .3”

The last time I took it out, I was stacking impacts at 575, on steel. It’s surprised me.

Here is 100, .4 outside to outside.

All my recent Rugers have been amazing, even the RA predators. This thing shoots lights out. I had a 6mm rpr that would shoot similar groups at 300. They were right at 1”
I ordered my 15 year old Son a Ruger American "Go Wild Camo" edition. It's his surprise Christmas gift. The Bronze Cerakote on the metal goes really well with the camo stock. Makes me happy to hear your Predator shoots well. That's what the GWC is, just a Predator with some new clothes.....and a muzzle brake. He has very little time on a rifle, so this is his tool to show me he can listen and learn.

Jmc, if it will do that I will have to look at 1. My fn is routinely under .5 MOA but that is flat amazing. I wouldn't expect that from anything besides a custom. A couple more reviews like that and I may add one for a backup rifle.

I bought it as a back up to my semi custom bergara. I shot 100 rounds of American gunner for break in and thought what the hell.... let’s see if she will shoot my handloads for the bergara... I’ve never had a rifle shoot the same handload as good as another. But this ruger did. I credit some of it to the Berger 140. Because a friends custom shot it the same as well. Both my rifles on a 10 shot string will read 2800-2805 FPS.
I know there’s a lot of custom guys that will say I’m full of it but this ruger has blown me away. She’s nasty.
 
That’s really impressive to say the least. I stumbled on this just scrolling through and it’s ironic because I’ve been eyeing one in 300WM for a couple of weeks. Thinking about dressing it up with an XTR and seeing how I like it as I’ve not owned a single magnum caliber anything in 10 years and this one really interests me.
